GREIFENSEE, Switzerland - Mettler Toledo has published a new white paper, "Ergonomic Manual Portioning & Checkweighing to Increase Profits," to explain ergonomic considerations for manual checkweighing and portioning in the food industry, the company announced.
"Manual portioning requires frequent keystrokes and high attention to remember tolerances and to interpret figures," Mettler Toledo said. "Fast moving digits may tire operators’ eyes. That is why ergonomics in these production environments is critical."
The paper offers suggestions for installing bench scales in an ergonomically appropriate way, and considers issues such as task management, scale placement, reading screens and employee posture, Metter Toledo said. The white paper can be found here.
